What >exactly makes a recipe " corrupted " anyway? Karen - Corruption seems to happen for different reasons - some known and some not. Once, back when MS first came out with the free email s/w -- Internet Express?? (my memory fails me...) It had a bug and it was stripping all blank rows from recipes the users would post. Later, recipients found that whole groups of recipes would have no title... or some weird title and the insides were messed up. Why Karen's did this, I've no clue. I'll go look around for the original -- maybe it will give us a clue. (Buster does seem to help prevent some corruptions...Glen has it STOP if needed blank lines are missing.) I saw some corrupted ones the other day that still were fixable.... the person had inserted a blank row right in the middle of the ingredient section...which threw part of the ingreds down into the 'directions' field. Anyway: why stuff gets completely corrupted I don't think any of us (or Sierra) has ever completely figured out - above case excepted.
